What happened at the First Council of Nicaea
The First Council of Nicaea met in the city of Nicaea in Asia Minor in 325 CE, called by Emperor Constantine to unify the Christian church after years of doctrinal conflict. The main issue was Arianism, a teaching by the priest Arius that held Christ the Son was created by and subordinate to God the Father. Some 200 to 300 bishops attended, and the council rejected Arius's view, affirming that the Son was of the same substance as the Father. This produced the original Nicene Creed, which formed the basis of the expanded version recited in many churches today. The council also set a common method for calculating the date of Easter.
